Getty ImagesThe Colts have been one of the few teams to splurge in free agency, signing plenty of players and spending plenty of cap space.
Owner Jim Irsay says another deal is coming.
He says the team is “working on a deal, one we’ve been working on for five days,” and that “we’re very, very close to making it work.”
Irsay has a history of dropping hints on Twitter. Last year, he tweeted about a trade not long before cornerback Vontae Davis was acquired from Miami.

Sounds like a re-structure
They need to upgrade the running game.
Just post it now… Ed Reed.
You’re welcome.
Will the deal include 1 phone call to the players grandma?
Who could it be? Hmm
Wonder if they are the “mystery team” in the Revis trade talks?
Well bye bye Elvis…
Victor Cruz!!!!!
Oh how I wish they are trading for Craig Dahl!!!
Osi in Indi?
DAmn wish dominik would have twitter n tweet stuff like that this year. Or maybe not even tweet and just get Tampa some deals goin.
It’s possible the colts might try and get Cruz
Uh oh…Irsay’s drinking again….
Revis
Andre Smith…wouldn’t be shocked if it’s him
Jake Long to the Colts. It all makes sense now.
Sources: They’ve signed Jeff George to a 7-year deal.
Maybe it’s a decent qb
Elvis is heading to Indy! Just a prediction, no signing…yet
Jeff George? I pretty sure its Jeff Garcia.
Bringing back Polian.
Jake Long my guess
That they saved a bunch of money by switching to Geico.
Damn it….I knew they were gonna do this…
He’s a joke. Always trying to get attention.
They’re signing former Dallas CB Mike Jenkins to a 1-year, $3.5 million dollar deal….is gonna be my guess
Breaking News: Colts sign WR Chad Johnson to a 1 year “prove it” deal.
Very good guesses here. But it’s Brandon Lloyd.
James Harrison?
John Elway!
I’m almost surprised free agents can get out of the AFC South. The money seems to be flowing there.
I don’t know what’s worse, hearsay or Irsay?
They can trade for Anthony Spencer, cowboys need a draft pick or two and the cap space
Though the Colts would have to do some serious financial magic to figure out how to acquire Jake Long. (over the cap already, I believe)
aaron rodgers
Great pic of Irksay saluting himself in the mirror.
I’m guessing Maclin.
edge james is coming out of retirement to ressurect the running game!
As a colts fan I’d love to see it be Long from Miami. Or a receiver that can actually go deep. Or an impact veteran running back. But no it’ll be another no name veteran that nobody has herd of like the rest of their signings. Quit getting our hopes up when it’s a no name player!
Ted Thompson’s Twitter:
3/15 “….”
3/14 “….”
3/13 “….”
3/12 “…”
3/11 “Free Agency begins! Time to get to work!”
#18 is coming back!
Pats stink?
Did you ask Vontae’s grandmother?
John Abraham
With Irsay, it could simply be a swap of Jim Beam for Jack Daniels.
It’s Chad Johnson.
I’m thinkin Michael Turner.
Is it just me or does Irsay look like Beaker from the Muppets in that pic?
The only things keeping the other owners from thinking Irsay is a complete bozo are……Jerry Jones ,Woody Johnson and Dan Synder.
It’s gotta be Jeff George.
Its Elvis Dumervil. He put up his best numbers in a 3-4 and the Colts could use a pass rusher. I really hope not though, I just have a feeling haha
Darren Mcfadden for a 3rd this year and a 4th round next year
Move to L.A.
randy mossssss
My sources told me that the colts are working on a deal with the denver broncos for a certain QB with a large forehead.
Jamarcus rus… I couldn’t get through that LOL
Adrian Peterson for Andrew Luck.
Joe Webb for a 2nd and 4th!!
Victor Cruz or Revis……..Sanders????
His latest is that it’s a WR. If he’s been working on it for 5 days, it isn’t Lloyd since he just got released. He’s in Arizona but I doubt it’s anyone of any substance here. MAYBE Brian Roberts but I doubt it. My guess is that it’s going to be Victor Cruz, which would really piss me off as a Ram fan since we have two higher #1′s than Indy.
He must of been partying with Charlie sheen again! Here comes the weeks worth of crazy threatening tweets, followed by a very minor signing.
Guys, the colts are signing me off the streets….. Sorry to spill the beans
I’m guessing they have acquired either Cole from the Eagles or Ware from the Cowboys for draft picks.
People.r.crazy with alot of these hunches. Not reed signed Landry. Not long signed Gosader so dont need tackle or SS with those two being or biggest signings. My guess mabey WR but not cruz there not gonna lose 2 1st round picks for him, a LB mabey since we lost Fokou,
Brett Favre coming out of retirement!!!
Isray seems like one of the owners that likes to go out there and get it. I’m wouldn’t be surprised if he went after Victor Cruz. I think Cruz would be a great target for Luck. He may go after Jake Long also but I would find that to be more surprising than Victor Cruz.
Ir-say too much!!! What a jerk…just like his dad.
@JimIrsay tweeted Hint It’s a wide receiver – also asked colts fans to stand by and pour a drink for support to land this whopper – hoping its a deal the giants can’t match for victor cruz, but as @natedunleavy pointed out the last time Jim was excited it was over Ricky Jean Francois. Who I actually am very excited about as well, should shore up the line, but a good point that even though Irsay says its a whopper, it could very well be another under the radar guy. Any thoughts or any rumors floating around Florio?
Dwight Freeny
As a Colts fan, I hope it’s not Revis. Not worth a first round pick and that cap space for just one year.
Jack Daniels or Jim Beam is my guess.
Irsay already said its a wide receiver anyway
this is too easy…Big Jim was spotted downtown with Leon Sandcastle Saturday night…connect the dots…
I’m just saying this before it may happen:
Larry Fitzgerald
1. dad publicly spoke out wanting a good quarterback
2. Irsay mentioned Arizona in his tweets
3. he’s calling it a big deal, a whopper of a deal
it’s not out of the realm of possibility
He also has a post mentioning “needing your voodoo”. Another hint, or drunken rambling?
Devery Henderson?
I’d say Donte Stallworth, but he’s busy getting into hot air balloon accidents.
Then again maybe Irsay needs a drinking buddy.
Its gotta be Terrell Owens.
Or better yet….the Colts are moving back to Baltimore and Baltimore will have two teams just like New York.
It’s a wide receiver. He just tweeted that.
Irsay is a complete tool. He really cares more about getting credit for the good deal than actually putting together the team that can win. Go out there and get Brady and Dumervil and every other big name player that could surprise us. You still have to do something with all that paper-talent. Irsay has been bragging for years about the team he inherited that hasn’t done anything since. They show some real promise now, but can this guy just shut up and let his accomplishments speak for themselves, without having to twitter them in advance?!
Im guessing Josh Cribbs, could be Cruz, as a Cardinals fan I hope like hell it isnt Fitz.
Revis eh?
Oh please jim [sniffle, wipe tear from eye] tell us the sun is rising tomorrow. You are our only hope.
It’s a wide receiver. A relatively prominent wide receiver.
OK, OK, it’s Early Doucet.
Leon Sandcastle!
The deal is a long term agreement with Affliction to make the Colts uniforms.
Leon Sandcastle
its larry fitzgerald
Jim Hearsay just tweeted #trading peytonsneck18 to the Eagles for Flavordave and a cheesesteak.
Rudy?
He is so irresponsible. He comes off as a typical rich kid who got handed his wealth. You aren’t 5 years old act your age and show some professionalism
Vicor Oladipo is going to return kicks!!!!
This is Irsay tweet “We’re working on a deal; one we’ve been working on for five days. We’re very, very close to making it work,” Irsay tweeted. “Colt fans, hint – it’s a wide receiver!”
I am thinking it could Emmanuel Sander, he an UFA. The Colts sign him and because of that the Colts will have to trade their 1st round pick to the Steelers.
I don’t think it’s Cruz because he just hired a new agent that will start working for him on Monday. NFL players can’t negotiate with a team without an agent.
Considering their GM Grigson is an ex-eagle guy and the fact that he has made several trades with them, I would not be surprised if it is Maclin, Avant, Cooper, or Jackson for draft picks. Especially since the Eagles went out and traded for Benn a few days ago.
He likes to leave hints in his Tweets. I think Early Doucet is very possible. He is in Arizona for the owners meetings not to sign a WR. He has also said it is a WR. Hate him if you want to but it is his team and he enjoys the word games.
Jeff George is coming back?
Chuck Muncie.
My money is on a heavy front loaded offer sheet to Victor Cruz that the Giants have no chance to match. This upcoming draft class is weak at WR and Indy gets Andrew Luck a proven weapon while giving up the #24 pick in the 1st round!
no way its sanders, that guy isnt worth a tweet, its a Wr who is on his last year, or is a restricted fa now, so its either cruz or fitz, not sure if fitz is on last year of his deal, but irsay did say it was depending on that players accepting an extension first, so…………
its for pieere garcon is coming back, we will give him a 3 year, 20 dollar extension, thats what we feel he is worth!!!
hate all u want, but irsay is one of the most exciting owners in the nfl, he aint some stuck up rich guy like some owners out there , and he never sued the fans like this other owner of the skinsred, hmm he makes it fun and exciting to be a colts fan, yeah he had pills issues years ago, but nobody on here has a squeeky clean past, heck most of yal are on spice now

————————————————
It’s not Cruz fired his agent about 6 to 7 days ago and Irsay said “he has been working on this deal for 5 days”. NFL player can’t talk to any teams without an agent. Cruz’s new agent will begin tomorrow.
Irsay is like 13 year old girl on Twitter #OMG
I am guessing that it is Steve Breaston.
I am hearing it Fritz
Irsay is NOT a buffoon, but his tweets are an act of buffoonery
Doug Baldwin will be the new “whopper” WR..hahaha! he was pushed down Seattle’s depth chart following Percy Harvin’s acquisition, and Baldwin played with Colts quarterback Andrew Luck and under new OC Pep Hamilton at Stanford. Tradet Seattle for a fifth- or sixth-round pick for Baldwin.
I haven’t seen anyone mention Joshua Cribbs. He is a free-agent wide receiver who also would make a fantastic return man.
And seriously – come on everybody – you don’t really think that you will go for Victor Cruz Or any other restripped agent and trade one of his four draft picks. He’s too Conservative for that.
Plus there are a lot of receivers on the market:
Josh Cribbs, Brandon Stokely, Steve Breaston, Kevin Walter from Houston, Laurent Robinson From Jacksonville, Edelman and Brandon Lloyd from New England, Devery Henderson, Dominic Hixon, Braylon Edwards, Darius Heyward-Bay, Randy Moss, and tightest young. Not to mention all the other average receivers In free agency.
So there’s about a zero chance that he is going to trade draft picks for any player.
So I’m kind of hoping Cribbs will get signed, But if I had money to Beth, it will probably be one of the average receivers.
Hearing here in Seattle it may be a trade for Doug Baldwin. Maybe a 5-6 rounder.
Totally agree loud mouth. ppl dont realize how much a 1st rd pick is worth.. in an ideal situation top tier talent locked up for four years for the cheap
